Using the case study below;Critically appraise the key/relevant theoriesand concepts that will inform your health promotion approaches aimed at reducing \'THE SMOKING PROBLEM AMONG PREGNANT WOMEN
BACKGROUND CONTEXT
According to NHS(2018),every cigarette contains over 4,000 chemicals so smoking during pregnancy harms the unborn foetus. Cigarettes can restrict the essential oxygen supply to your baby. Stopping smoking will help both the mother and baby, and could help reduce the risk of stillbirth, premature birth and sudden infant death syndrome of babies. Yet, figures from NHS Digital show that, 2012-13, 12.7% of women in England were known to be smoking when their babies were born. Currently 10..5% of women are known to be smoking at the time of delivery-a drop of only 0.1% on last year.
